It was our first time to an MCO banquet and we picked a good one — the Club’s 60th Anniversary Bash. There were race cars on display, racing sims set-up, and tons of MCO members from all disciplines.
We sat with Don, his wife Marilyn, and J-P at a table with a few other folks [...]
Couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon! Sunny, eight or nine degress C, and not a lot of on traffic. Ginger made it clear she would have preferred 94 octane fuel, but she still managed to hit 177kph on the back straight. For my part, I think I drove the best I’ve ever driven, taking [...]
Back on the 18th, I spent a couple of hours on Shannonville‘s “Long Track” layout (much more fun than the Fabi lay-out). I’m happy to report that the Big Enchilada sure made a difference in horsepower. Back in June, pre-mods, Ginger topped-out at 145kph on the long back straight. This time around, she [...]
October 17th was our 11th wedding anniversary and we celebrated with a weekend-long excursion to the Kingston/Prince Edward County region that culminated in a day of driving adventures.
After the adventures in Picton, I toyed with the idea of just running the Racing Harts and Star Specs for the rest of the season (what littel remains), but decided against it and placed an order for one rim. Emilio filled the order quickly from his crash replacement reserve and the new rim should be [...]
Just one week after the mechanical issues at Picton, Ginger was back in action at CADL’s second event at PMG in Blainville, Quebec. This time though, the event would also decide the 2009 Interprovincial Cup (IPC).
Where do I begin? First off, I guess I have to say that the autox crowd is full of incredibly helpful folks. Everyone is willing to lend a tool, a hand, or a safe place to park. Some, will even offer a trailer or a tow to a comrade in need.
And was I ever [...]
What’ s there to say? Awesome day, with tons of runs on a great course. I did great in the AM — closest to FTD ever — but struggled in the PM, when we ran the course in the opposite direction.
condor888000 also drove Ginger and he was giggling like a little girl. At [...]
Wow it has been a while! We’ve been having internet connection issues, which I’m starting to think is our router. I replaced it with a new one (same brand) and the problems persist. In addition, the new one won’t let me access this site from inside our network. That’s whacky!
At any rate, here’s a [...]
Just posted a new video to YouTube of my lapping outing on June 30th. My first ever track session. Fabi layout at Shannonville Motorsports Park. The vid contains two laps from my first outing when I was being coached by DEye. One of these has me following another red miata. After the transition [...]
